Gone But Not Forgotten- The Boat Brands We Loved That Are No More (Part 9)

The motoryacht movement with maxum, meridian, carver & marquis.

In my over forty years in the pleasure boat industry, there have been literally thousands of boat companies and brand names of boats in North America.

Some of these were and are strictly regional brands not known or recognized in the rest of the continent but many were national and even international brands known to most of us diehard boaters.

It is those well known and recognized brands that are no longer with us that I look forward to examining in this series. These brand names may still be corporately held in reserve but are not known to currently be in production.

In 1986, the Boat Group division of Brunswick Corporation , makers of Mercury outboard motors and MerCruiser sterndrive engines, purchased Sea Ray boats. They quickly followed up in the same year with the purchase of Bayliner . Both Sea Ray and Bayliner had been vying back and forth for a few years as to which was the largest pleasure boat manufacturer in the world. Now Brunswick would undoubtedly be number one.

{Big-Box-Banner}

Sea Ray and Bayliner had also been perceived, rightly or wrongly by the boating industry, and more importantly by the boating public, as representing not necessarily the extremes, but relative opposite ends of the pleasure boat market in terms of desirability, price point, and quality. It was akin in those days to the positioning of General Motors and the Buick vs. Chevrolet argument.

Based on this market perception, Brunswick thought there may be room for a boat brand positioned between Sea Ray and Bayliner, just as General Motors had Pontiac and Oldsmobile positioned between its other two brands. Just two years after the acquisition of Sea Ray and Bayliner, in 1988 Brunswick created the Maxum brand for exactly that purpose.

Building out of a Bayliner facility in Pipestone, Minnesota, in 1989 Maxum Marine offered eight models from 16-23 feet. Growth as well as market acceptance of Maxum was slow, as many Maxum hulls were the same as Bayliner hulls but with different decks and inner liners. The public was confused. As Maxum offerings grew in size to include mid-cabin express cruisers and eventually full cruisers, production facilities were added in Salisbury, Maryland.

In 1999, ten years after its formation, Maxum was offering 18 models from 18-46 feet. This was a prelude to a 2000 news conference when Maxum introduced its all new “curvy and sexy-looking” 3500 SCR cruiser, the first Maxum to be designed independently from Bayliner with a distinct brand identity and independence.

In that news conference, Dave Heiss, Maxum’s Manager of Advertising and Marketing, said, "Now we can grow each brand's personality independent of the other." Production was extended to include facilities in Valdosta, Georgia and Miami, Oklahoma. Unfortunately, it seems that maybe the 10 years of public perception and confusion between brands had solidified in the marketplace because Maxum did not perform as anticipated. In 2001, the Valdosta facilities were sold and the Miami, Oklahoma facility closed down as the events of 9/11 resulted in a severe downturn in the pleasure boat industry.

Maxum announced a re-invigoration of its lineup in 2002 but it was too little, too late. By 2009, it had cut back its product offerings to 12 models from 18-37 feet. But damage had also been done by the horrendous financial downturn of 2008 and, after a 20-plus year run, Maxum boats were discontinued in 2009.

The downturn in Maxum sales in 2001 was reflected in almost the entire industry, including almost across the board in the Brunswick Boat Group. Bayliner was building over 50 models in five series of boats and its sales were hit hard. It was also building larger and larger boats up to almost 60 feet and not paying enough attention to the smaller boats in its lineup that had always been its winning formula.

2002 was the final year for Bayliner Motoryachts. In 2003, Brunswick launched its Meridian line of yachts out of Bayliner’s old yacht and former headquarters location in Arlington, Washington. Meridian started with the old Bayliner lineup of seven models of sedans, flybridges, and pilothouse motoryachts from 34-58 feet, with the direction and intention of gradually re-tooling the lineup.

This would include not only new and more aggressive designs but also new materials and hardware to bring the Meridian brand closer to Sea Ray and its perception quality. All Meridian models were equipped with Brunswick’s new Docking on Command™ system of utilizing bow and stern thrusters under a single control.

Sales rebounded under the new direction but the financial downturn of 2008 caused more rationalization of Brunswick’s facilities, including the closing of the Arlington plant and all Meridian production moving to Florida. In 2011, it was claimed that Meridian had the best selling sedan and flybridge cruisers in the United States for the past five years.

It was not enough, though, and by 2018 Brunswick Corp. announced the end of not only Meridian Yachts but also the yacht and sport yacht models of Sea Ray. It must be noted here that both Bayliner and Sea Ray continue to this day both as major manufacturers of pleasure boats.

As a post-script, while we are dealing with Bayliner and its many changes in product lines over the years, there are a couple of series (at least) that have come and gone over the years – series that many boaters will remember with fondness.

One series is the Avanti series of more upscale mid-cabin express cruisers and flybridge boats from 29-40 feet from the years 1987 to 1999. The second series is a personal favourite of mine and one that has attracted almost a cult-like following from long-range cruisers. That series is the Pilothouse Motoryacht models 4588, 4788, 5288, and 5788 built in various of those lengths between 1985 and 2002, and of course continued under Meridian in 2003 and until model changes were made.

It is difficult for me to believe that Carver Yachts , one of the most popular and recognizable motor yacht brands found almost everywhere for decades might no longer be with us. It was said to have closed its doors permanently in mid-2021. Its huge production facilities in Pulaski, Wisconsin, which it shared with Marquis Yachts, was almost simultaneously purchased by KCS International, parent company of Cruisers Yachts of nearby Oconto, Wisconsin.

Charlie Carter and George Verhagen put the three first letters of each of their last names together to create the “Carver” name in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1954. Their first designs were mahogany planked runabouts. As sales grew, in 1956 they moved operations to Pulaski, a short distance northwest of Green Bay.

In the 1960’s, Carver recognized the growing consumer demand for “family-sized” overnighters and built roomy boats to satisfy that market. It recognized the growing demand for flybridge models as well. By 1971, Carver was offering seven models from 21-31 feet, all of which were built from wood.

By the mid-70's, Carver introduced fiberglass hulls but still with wooden superstructures. It first introduced its Mariner series at this time, one of the roomiest boats on the market with loads of indoor living space all on one level. It also came with a huge flybridge which had the only helm control station. The Carver 33-Mariner of the 1970’s satisfied both consumer boating needs and was a huge sales success. The Mariner series expanded over the years while keeping its original successful design philosophies.

By the 1980’s, Carver had grown worldwide into a major builder of what became referred to as motor yachts. The 32 and 36 flybridge aft cabin motor yachts became synonymous with Carver as boat owners enjoyed the privacy of an aft cabin stateroom with a private head compartment, while guests slept at the extreme other end of the boat in the bow.

In 1985, Carver was purchased by Miramar Marine Corp which soon added another production facility in North Carolina. Carver then started building Miramar’s new acquisition of Californian Yachts and offering them through its vast worldwide dealer network. In 1990, Carver offered a substantial lineup of 30 models from 22-55 feet including six Californian models. Sales topped out over $200 million.

The federal luxury tax of early 1991 along with an economic turndown almost crippled Carver. Buyout specialist Irwin Jacobs worked his magic and by the end of the year had assembled Miramar along with Carver into his Genmar Industries. A few years later, this became Genmar Holdings, Inc. which evolved into one of the world’s largest pleasure boat manufacturers.

In 1992, Genmar purchased Trojan Yachts of Pennsylvania and moved the tooling and molds to Pulaski to build the yachts there. Trojan’s lineup ranged from 30-46 foot express and sport cruisers, but unfortunately it did not last long. California Yachts was sold. Meanwhile, Carver started to rebound under new management and with the repeal of the luxury tax a year later.

The late-90's saw consumer demand wanting luxurious interior accommodations and Carver was happy to oblige. By the end of the 1990’s it introduced its ultra-luxurious 53 and 57 Voyager Pilothouse motor yachts with their ”skylounge” helm station with powered Captain’s chair, huge flybridge, solid finished cherrywood cabinetry throughout, leatherette furniture, and plush carpeting.

Following this success, Carver saw the need for even more luxury and better sales in European and offshore markets. In 2002, it started working with the Italian design team of Nuvolari & Lenard. This resulted in Carver building new upscale European designed Nuvari yachts from a new facility in Fano, Italy. With this background, in 2004, Carver created Marquis Yachts as an even more upscale line with European influences built in the Pulaski facilities. Originally, Marquis offered two models, the 59-foot and 65-foot motor yachts, and their success led to a full line from 42-72 feet.

In the same year, 2004, the Genmar Holdings, Inc. portfolio included 18 boat brands, but the financial crisis of 2008 had a devastating cumulative effect resulting in its bankruptcy. At the subsequent auction in 2010, Platinum Equity Group purchased the bulk of the brands, while Irwin Jacobs and a partner purchased Carver and Marquis Yachts. Shortly thereafter they added the Larson group to form the Marquis-Larson Boat Group consisting of six brands: Marquis, Carver, Larson, Larson FX, Larson Escape, and Striper.

After all of these changes, Carver tried to revitalize itself with some striking new designs which didn’t catch on with the market. In 2019, Larson, FX, Escape, and Striper were sold to the Polaris Group. For 2021, Carver was offering only six models from 34-52 feet, none of which had any resemblance to the Carver models which had excelled in the marketplace in the past.

Carver and Marquis were closed in summer of 2021. The extensive Pulaski manufacturing facilities were purchased by KCS International of nearby Oconto, the parent company of Cruisers Yachts, builders of 16 models from 33-60 feet. This company was then almost immediately purchased by MarineMax , the largest recreational boat dealership company with a hundred locations worldwide. Cruisers Yachts continues to excel.

Carver 65 Marquis

• By Dudley Dawson
• Updated: October 4, 2007

When one thinks of Pulaski, Wisconsin (pop. 2,200), international style and panache are likely not the first things that come to mind. That’s about to change, thanks to Carver Boat Corp. and its new 65-foot Marquis motoryacht.

The company built its first boat 50 years ago, when Charlie Carter and George Verhagen got together in Verhagen’s Milwaukee garage to build themselves a mahogany runabout. Transitioning from hobby to business, they soon began selling their creations to friends. From that simple beginning, Carver-a combination of their last names-was born.

The company has marked a lot of milestones since 1954, including its 1956 move from Milwaukee to Pulaski, the introduction of its full-cabin boats and flying-bridge models, in the ’60s, and its progression from wood to fiberglass construction, in the early ’70s. Later came distinctive models such as those in the Mariner series, boats beloved by owners for their abundance of interior volume.

Now comes a move sure to alter Carver’s course significantly and set its direction for years to come: the introduction of the Marquis line. (The premiere Marquis, a 59-foot model, debuted last year.) The new 65-footer is not simply a bigger Carver, in concept or in execution; she is a whole new animal. The company reached beyond its own doors to ensure the new series would be not just what Carver wanted, but what knowledgeable yachtsmen would demand. She is nothing short of world-class.

Carver brought in renowned naval architect Donald L. Blount for advice on hull lines and performance. It tapped Ward’s Marine Electric, a company with a great history of its own, to specify the electrical, control and navigational systems for the yachts. And after looking worldwide, Carver enlisted the Venetian design team of Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard for the exterior styling. The Italian duo also laid out the interior arrangement and worked with A La Mer on the décor.

The use of a team with this depth of experience is common for the world’s largest custom superyachts, where cost is no object, but it is a bit unusual for a production boat company such as Carver to carry planning to this extent. The result is worth whatever Carver invested, for the Marquis 65 went well beyond my expectations. Built entirely in Wisconsin with uncompromising attention to the preferences of American buyers, the yacht is an exceptional combination of styling, accommodation and performance that has an undeniable Italian flair, yet is heir to the tradition of spacious comfort pioneered over the years by the Carver Mariners.

It was high tide at Ft. Lauderdale’s Bahia Mar, so I boarded the Marquis via the stern rather than the side bulwark gate, across a sizable platform that can be dropped to water level for swimming or even lower for launching and retrieving a small tender. Up a few steps, and I was at the curved stainless-framed glass saloon door, where I found a little something extra: a screen. Blessed as this land of ours is with mosquitoes, black flies and no-see-ums, the screen is very sensible, and it rolled effortlessly into place.

Beyond the entry lay an uninterrupted vista that took in the saloon, dining room, galley, pilothouse and the horizon ahead. It is not easy to keep such a space from looking long and narrow, especially when a yacht carries full side decks, but the designers achieved it through a combination of several techniques. First, there is an abundance of windows along the sides of the house, expanding the apparent width of the room. Second, partial dividers-the port one holding the galley’s refrigerator/freezer and the starboard one serving as a base for the open glass stairs to the flying bridge-visually differentiate the saloon from the remainder of the deck. Finally, the helm area is elevated slightly, providing a better view for the captain, who sits centerline on a comfortable Stidd helm chair, and his guests, who can relax nearby on the circular settee forward of the galley.

The feeling here, and throughout the Marquis, is one of refined modernity. There are no sharp corners, with joinery-edge moldings and bulkhead knuckles displaying large radii that are attractive and safe at sea. All woodwork is cherry with a deep, high-gloss finish. Veneer grain patterns are well matched, and many countertops are cut from burl to offer visual contrast.

The dining table is a work of art in itself, in appearance and function. The oval tabletop has a starburst veneer pattern, with Nuvolari & Lenard’s trademark curved diamond in the center, a theme echoed in the saloon overhead and the backs of the dining chairs. The tabletop is mounted on a sturdy, fixed center post, but it slides outboard to create a wider passageway fore and aft when not in use.

Cream colors were selected for the carpets and overheads aboard our test boat, along with lighter colors for the leather chairs and settees, but décor and some other design elements are largely up to the buyer. Kim Riley, Carver’s director of communications, and Randy Peterson, manager of propulsion and systems engineering, explained that while Carver does not offer customization of the Marquis 65, the company would consider reasonable “special options in addition to the extensive list of “owner preference items that forms part of the yacht’s specifications.

Several of those items were aboard our test boat, including a full fiberglass hardtop that is sure to be a buyer favorite. In the sunny climes of Florida, it will keep things tolerable, with or without the available air-conditioning. Up on the Great Lakes, the top and removable enclosure curtains will extend the boating season considerably.

Belowdecks, the Marquis carries six guests in three cabins clustered around a marble-sole lower foyer. The VIP stateroom, forward with a queen island berth, has cedar-lined lockers to port and starboard. There’s also a smaller guest cabin to port, with twin berths and an en suite head that doubles as a day head. Both guest heads have showers that are equipped with seats and grab rails.

The master stateroom, positioned amidships, is as large and well appointed as some I’ve seen on 100-footers. His-and-her baths flank a centerline tub, and the clear glass enclosure can be rendered opaque instantly, at the flip of a switch. Stowage is abundant, with multiple drawers and a locker to starboard that is not only a walk-in space, but a “walk around in space. A settee and vanity complete the outfitting.

The Marquis 65 is a dream under way, both at sea and in tight quarters. She rides like a much larger yacht, yet handles like one much smaller. We ran at speed through some confused slop offshore, and her quick response to the rudders and trim tabs hoisted the bow easily as we turned into the seas and passed a boat 30 feet longer having a much tougher time of it. We had bow- and sternthrusters, which are nice but not necessary, and did not have stabilizers. Frankly, I didn’t miss them-I assumed they were fitted and operating until I looked for the controls. Our test boat carried an optional crew cabin abaft the engineroom, but the Marquis 65 is well within the capabilities of a skilled owner-operator. To me, half the pleasure of this yacht would be in driving her.

In spite of being spawned in Pulaski, Wisconsin, which the average person might not mark as a mariner’s haven, Carver’s history goes back a half century, to 1954. Then, a couple of ambitious men named Charlie Carter and George Verhagen, dreamed up a combination of their names and decided to build a boat. So Carver Boat Corp. became a reality, beginning in Milwaukee. Their first projects were wood – mahogany runabouts, but by the 60s they had graduated to cabin and flybridge models. Fiberglass came next, in the 70s, and they were building customer loyalty as well. The Marquis Class is built by Carver’s elite teams of crafts people in a unique “plant within a plant,” in their Wisconsin headquarters. As a U.S.-built yacht, Carver is able to the maintain high standards it has established for this class, but also meets the European Community’s Classification “A” Standard, as one of only a few domestic-built yachts to claim that distinction.

Carver hews to “U.S. Navy-style” construction, with the hull and deck plate as a structural unit, while the superstructure is self-supporting. These are solid fiberglass hull bottoms which incorporate Kyntex substrates for maximum strength-to-weight and strength-to-thickness. Cored-hull sides, with closed cellular urethane foam below the waterline and end-grain balsa above, are tenets of strength and rigidity. Molded fiberglass stringers and engine-room members are cored with high-density urethane foam to absorb noise and vibration. All bulkheads are 1” thick, triple-bonded on circumferences, creating boxed beams that reinforce the hull/deck plate unit. Deck plates comprised of fiberglass encapsulating 1-3/4” aluminum tubular core members, inset with end-grain balsa coring, provide maximum strength and rigidity. The deck plate is mechanically fastened to the hull and reinforced with fiberglass laminate around the entire circumference. This self-supporting fiberglass superstructure boasts an integral aluminum truss framework to create a strong monocoque system.

Far forward, the Stidd helm chair is centered, with a slight elevation to give the an Captain even better forward view. The helm is centered on state of the art navigational screens, with full scope monitors of systems. Starboard is a large chart area, with storage. At port, a curved deep-cushioned couch allows the passengers to applaud the captain’s stellar performance.

With a matching complete helm high up on the flybridge, there is also ample room for day or evening parties, with a fully functioning bar, tables and couches for full amenities entertaining.

Beam wide, the aft deck is perfect for outdoor gatherings, any time. Large weather-proof couches and a long table are complemented by a full surround-sound system. The entertainment center, centered in the salon, features a 30” plasma TV/DVD. Boarding can be accomplished either via its wide swim platform, which again provokes a sort of wonder because of its size, or its side bulwark gate. The platform, by the way, can be utilized from two levels, hydraulically actuated, one for swimming, and slightly lower for launching the tender.

A visual plus – frameless windows – allows architectural treatments to harmonize with the sculpted fiberglass surfaces, while tempered safety glass is joined to aluminum-reinforced superstructure components with high-performance adhesive sealants.

A fender locker is neatly integrated into the forward deckhousing for quick access and stowage.

No unsightly stainless clutter here. The anchor windlass is contained within its own locker...

From the stern, the main deck’s visual scope reaches all the way forward, through the salon, dining room, galley, and pilothouse to the seascape ahead. With large windows along each side, the effect is airy, expansive, with the unencumbered feel of roomy volume. Accounting for some of its lush physical comfort zones, Carver’s engineers, in creating the living spaces, used the CAD 3D programs to fashion full-scale plywood models of all major traffic and relaxational areas, and to preserve the dedication to 6’8” headroom. Walking around these mock-ups revealed information even to those experienced yacht designers. Earthy, warm colors earmark the interior décor, with expanses of a light, creamy tan accented by cherry woodwork throughout, including wall coverings and overhead, which features fine-finished wood valences. The spacious salon seems even larger than it is, owing to the openness of view, and seeming casual placement of furniture, plus the windows lining both beams. Deeply cushioned couches, easy chairs, coffee tables and cabinetry line the bulkheads, providing storage areas as well as visually cordoning off the living room from the dining area and galley. Carver doesn’t extend custom design to its buyers, but does have a broad list of “owner preference” décor items.

On the starboard side, the dining room holds an oval table for six, done in modern Danish style, while at port, the fully furnished galley presents complete food-prep equipment, including stainless steel appliances, convection/microwave oven and Ceran cooktop. Imported granite countertops and floors highlight the upscale galley. Exotic sapele pommele inlaid cabinet tops sport an impact resistant high-gloss finish. Plumbing and fixtures are imported from Italy. As the Marquis is a production yacht, color schemes are standard, as is furniture. To the far left of this picture, a uniquely designed glass circular staircase, amidships just at the dining room, offers easy access to the night-time living area on the lower deck. The staircase, molded glass, presents no sharp corners, as all the edges and joinery on the yacht are smoothed and finished to offer ultimate safe passage, even in rough seas.

On the Lower Deck, living up to its billing, the master stateroom is fit for the Marquis himself, sporting an athwartships king size berth, walk-in armoire/closet, plus his/hers baths/heads, with a centered tub. Cleverly, Carver has armed the clear glass enclosure with an instant “opaque” switch. Italian marble vanity tops and floors add to the sumptuous display. A settee and vanity, with warmly accented wood coverings, complete the furnishings.

His Head...

Her Head...

Forward on the Lower Deck, the VIP stateroom is almost as lush as the master, with its queen size berth, private head/shower, and ample closet space.

Between the two large staterooms lies a twin-berth third, with bed tables and hanging locker, plus head/shower.

Crews Quarters...

Driving this magnificent Marquis, optional power choices include 2x 1,361 hp MTU 12V2000s, 2x 814 hp MTU 12V2000s, or 2x 705 hp Volvo D12s. The engine room with its “lower” headroom of an even 6’ offers walk-around space, well organized, with the full complement of systems displayed, and a marvelous lack of scattered components.

Long known as a fine production yacht company, its owners’ gatherings show the loyalty generated among its buyers, many of whom have graduated from one size to the next several times. And perhaps, with its new Marquis series, management is counting on the next move by its admirers, upward to its Royal Class. The Marquis 65 is certainly an upgrade, even from the Marquis 59, debuted last year, which I had the pleasure of reviewing after the Miami Boat Show. A splendid yacht, so finely finished and well thought out, it should be a stretch to say the 65 is a far leap ahead from that. Yet, it is.
